XMLSyntaxError Opening and ending tag mismatch, but it works using qGIS or ArcMap. #336

Closed murdav closed 8 years ago

murdav commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I'm using OWSLib==0.11.2 while testing this:

from owslib.wms import WebMapService
wms = WebMapService('http://edo.jrc.ec.europa.eu/edov2/php/ows.php?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities')

I got this error:

File "", line unknown XMLSyntaxError: Opening and ending tag mismatch: BR line 6 and FONT, line 7, column 8

What does it mean? Using gGIS or ArcMap I'm able to load the WMS correctly.

Thanks in advance,

Davide

I can't reproduce this error - it works for me.

What version of python are you using? Do you get the capabilities document OK in your browser with that URL?

After many attempts I discovered it's problem related onlyto my VirtualBox, where I randomly I got also this error:

Ok, it looks like the VM can't access the web. Thanks for closing the issue.
